No Cavs posts over here in the past 6 days...couldn't let it go a whole week so I just wanted to point out that the first and second year guys played well tonight and carried the team to a win on the road. Good performances by Waiters, TT, Zeller and Kyrie. Andy stayed back in Cleveland due to his knee.

It is crazy that the Cadavaliers are in season and this place is a desert. It probably won't get exciting around this forum again until the official season-ending tanking takes place and we begin to position ourself for the draft and whom to draft.

I haven't seen many games, but is the apparent improved play of Thompson attributable to the Varejao's absence? Obviously, TT's going to have more rebounds with the rebounding machine on the sidelines, but it could be more than that. It always seemed like playing those two together was going to be a problem and that Zeller would be a better pairing with either one.
